Discover

Our first priority is to understand you and your aspirations at a deep level. We want to know your story, your vision and the impact your brand can make in the world. Our entire strategic process is about developing and launching your ideas in a meaningful, memorable and sustainable way.

Workshop: Interactive session using our custom Brand Strategy Canvas to identify and explore your key opportunities, challenges, and story up until today.

Brainstorms: Our team distills and creatively explores all elements and findings from the Discover stage to inform purposeful brand strategy building.

Imagine

Strategic design is informed by research, workshops, interviews, and brainstorming conducted by experienced creative professionals on our team. Our process involves a consideration of business objectives and the thinking that will define foundations for building an iconic brand well into the future.

Development: Imaginative crafting and shaping of concepts for visual identity and creative messaging, anchored in the findings from the Discover stage.

Presentation: Our strongest ideas are packaged and presented as a series of original options.

Refinement: With your feedback, the best ideas are evolved and refined until we arrive at a memorable creative solution that addresses strategic criteria.

Create

Your brand is defined by the experience your clients and customers have along their journey. Strategic design proactively addresses all of these touchpoints and is guided by empathy for user experiences.

Touchpoints: Our creative ideas are focused around points of direct interaction that your customers and clients will have with your brand.

Assets: We define and craft a comprehensive series of branded creative deliverables. Each project may have unique deliverables to match strategic objectives. Standard deliverables include an array of digital and print branded assets.

Unlike most other brand development firms, we also provide full transfer
of copyright so all assets and files produced are 100% owned by you upon
project completion.

Launch

We help launch the campaign we've created for you by sharing it with our extensive network, enabling you to reach a ready-made audience. Beyond this, the Brand Strategy & Guidelines we carefully craft for you continues to add value for many years to come.

Results: Our major deliverable is the Brand Strategy & Guidelines document. It captures all the strategy, messaging, technical guidelines, research, and creative work for your brand.

Well Connected: Through the goodwill our team has developed, we can activate our social platforms to launch new brands to considerable effect by personal recommendation where appropriate.

Future Growth: A strong brand strategy is a foundational guide that continues to add value to your brand for many years to come.
